The most celebrated composition by William Martin (1836 1908), a native of East Lothian who was schoolmaster at Inverkeithny in Banffshire before retiring to Edinburgh in 1901. The strathspey is popular among Cape Breton fiddlers and has been recorded often. Perlman (1996) notes that his source, Elmer Robinson, followed the traditional Prince Edward Island musical custom of playing the “high turn” first. Source for notated version:
